I use a charger for my mobile printer from Lind Electronics. It came with my hp450 printer. Not cheap, but high quality.

I was thinking of getting another power adapter for myself along with a car adapter and instead decided to get both at once; a Kensington power adapter. The refurbished one linked below is 30 bucks, comes with an airplane power cord, cigarette lighter power cord and standard AC power cord + tips, one of which works nice on the mini. And since its not just a really cheap adapter I don't feel worried about sending junk power into my Mini especially when using it in my car. Warning, it is larger than the normal mini adapter.

I bought one of these and it just arrived. It works great with the Mini and is incredibly small.

Newegg.com - Recertified: Kensington K38053RR 70 Watt DC Power Adapter for Netbooks

$20 isn't bad for a product from a company like Kensington.

Glad to hear it works great. I bought the same one, but haven`t had a chance to use it yet.

I have a very old (2003?) Targus car/air charger that never got used. Gave it a shot the other day and it worked.

I just got this one from PC Microstore and it works fine. Here is the link:

They also have the 120 volt wall charger. It only has a 6 foot cord, though. They have decent discount coupons from time to time posted on dealnews.com. I got mine when they had a 35% off coupon.

Where did you get the Sony FM transmitter? I would love to have that for when I was at work and wanted to hear my own music instead of what was on the radio.

If anyone is still looking for a power adapter, Dell has one on their site now for the mini (made by Belkin).
